I don't know what's better - having a changeling invasion sequence from kanashiipanda that isn't overtly bipedal, or the inclusion of motherly Derpy kicks.

It's kind of distracting that they used the same music as Horse Game, though.

Also, the opening scene sort of hides the later animation - which is forgiveable, as it just makes things that more epic when things actually start moving.
The real problem is that interspersing the credits with the animation makes it seem like either they cut out a couple of particularly hard-to-animate scenes or they were just clumsily padding things out. Or maybe it's just a poorly-conceived framing device. Either way, it would be better if all the action was lumped together._________________butts

Looks like we'll finally be getting an actual not-humans pony movie in a couple of years, with a full theatrical release instead of the limited releases the made-for-DVD Equestria Girls movies have been getting.
That said, Rainbow Rocks was pretty good! An improvement over the first Equestria Girls movie in just about every way. And how can you not love a movie that recognizes the power of Taco Tuesday?

Also, in the news of it-could-be-awesome-if category, they're planning on making movie out of that horrible glammy soft-rock cartoon series from the 80s that's so 80s it's like Elton John's wardrobe exploded and all the costumes started taking karate lessons to fight off the threat off Soviet aliens with the power of love, synthesizers, magenta and blue light gels, and video arcades. I can't be the only one who sees the potential entertainment value of a Jem and the Holograms movie, can I?

In the less awesome news, Hasbro is still going to spend billions of dollars trying to turn their board games into movies.
